Yup,I've seen one.It's certainly different...supposedly more difficult to counterfeit.I've read that there's an enormous number of $100 bills circulating outside the US and an enormous percentage of them are counterfeit.If that's true it's certainly a big problem.

Canada also has new bills out.I was there earlier in the month and came across a polymer $10 and $5 bill.I've seen polymer notes in other countries...Australia,Singapore,Hong Kong and Brazil...and they look pretty funky.Well,different for sure.They're supposed to last longer and be much harder to counterfeit.

I utterly, literally, cannot imagine why counterfeit 100 dollar bills are a threat. The British ring supposedly made 35 million in superdollars. The Norks are estimated by the treasury to have made another 45 million worth.

How is anyone supposed to get a case of the fainting vapors over a total of 80 million bucks devaluing our currency, when the Fed creates 5.5 billion a day out of thin air.

We should be utterly profoundly ashamed to prosecute anyone for making a few 20 dollar bills on a color copier. Or even to squeal about some nation printing off 30 or 40 million of them over a few years. Its a joke.
